- Geoffrey Carr's life spirals out of control after his wife and step-daughter are kidnapped by rogue IRA members. Unable to pay the ransom, he faces the choice of either dismantling his life or gambling with the lives of his family members.
- Telford had worked for many years in a bank, and had progressed to a senior role which involved him travelling overseas. He decided that he wanted a change, so he applied for the job of manager in a small provincial branch in Dover. He raised a few eyebrows back at headquarters for his lenient attitude to debtors, but he succeeded in attracting a large Dutch firm to open an office in the town and to bank with his branch. After badly advising the managing director of a local electronics firm to expand too quickly, he rescued the situation by suggesting that the MD should act as financial advisor to a brilliant inventor who had no idea how to run a successful business. Mrs Telford did not want to move to Dover and stayed with her teenage son in London. Before long she had met a theatre director (played by Keith Barron) and they tentatively began having an affair. By the final episode, Telford had got the concept of being a bank manager out of his system and was arranging to go back to his previous job. At a first-night party for a play being staged by Mrs Telford's lover, Telford showed up unexpectedly and gave a very charming and magnanimous speech in praise of the lover's theatrical abilities, while making it quite clear that he knew full-well what his wife had been up to and that, while he did not in any way condone it, he desperately wanted her back.
- Geoffrey and Frances' marriage is on the rocks after she realizes she only married him for his money. But workaholic Geoffrey is in love with Frances and decides to buy her love by acquiring for her the Irish mansion she grew up in.
- Frances and her step-daughter are kidnapped by rogue IRA members. Hopeless, Geoffrey asks for the help of an insurance man while the police try to track down a boy who is the only eyewitness to the crime.
- As Geoffrey scrambles to raise the three million pound ransom the police try to get information out of their only eyewitness - a boy.
- Tensions rise between the kidnappers due to Kate's paranoia. Meanwhile, Geoffrey, contemplating his options, gets closer to Frances' sister and learns more about his wife then he wanted to know.
- With a drop arranged, the police are eager to get in on the action but Geoffrey and Simon don't want them involved and set up a complex scheme to distract them.
- After the fiasco with the drop, Geoffrey takes the investigation into his own hands and decides to track down the kidnappers himself.
